DISAPPOINTEDJUST INSTALLED THE DISHWASHER 04/01/2015. EXPECTED QUIETER OPERATION FROM A 50db UNIT. MUCH NOISIER THAN OUR OLD 2004 MAYTAG UNIT THAT THE BOSCH REPLACED! SILVERWARE RACK EASILY FALLS OVER. WHEN BOTTOM RACK IS PULLED OUT, BOTTOM RACK EASILY COMES OFF TRACK AND IS HARD TO REPLACE. WIFE DISLIKES THE FACT DOOR IS SO HARD TO OPEN!
SO FAR VERY DISAPPOINTED, AND HAVE ONLY USED TWICE. HAD ORIGINALLY ORDERED A 46db BOSCH UNIT, BUT WAS TOO TALL TO FIT UNDER OUR COUNTER TOP AND WAS FORCED TO GO WITH THE 50db UNIT WHICH IS A TAD SHORTER IN HEIGHT!
VERY DISAPPOINTED IN BOSCH, HAD EXPECTED BETTER!

quietbought this dishwasher almost a month ago to replace our old one that stopped working. this is our first bosch and it is so much quieter than the other dishwashers we've had. i like that it has no heat coil so anything can go on top or bottom rack. it works as well as our old dishwasher, the problems with this are the same as we've had with less expensive dishwashers: dishes come out damp, not completely dry, and if food was dried onto the dishes it doesn't always get it off, even on the more heavy duty wash cycles. over all, happy with this new dishwasher.

Good DishwasherThis dishwasher had all the features we were looking for, with the price we wanted. So far, it has handled all of the dishes we have given it to wash and done an excellent job at it. It does assume you will use Finish to help it dry, so just be aware that you may be purchasing some (it does come with a trial size that covers about two loads.)
It was a relatively painless process to install it, and any moderately handy individual could do it. It is quiet and runs in a pretty reasonable duration. Overall, I think this dishwasher is great, and I recommend it.

I love it - now!The cleaning that this dishwasher does is fantastic and I love the fact that it doesn't have the heating element to crack our dishes.
However, we had it for over 2 weeks before it finally worked. It was the latch that wasn't connecting and everytime we ran it we didn't realize that was not happening. There would be water in the bottom and we couldn't figure out what was going on. My husband finally worked with it and adjusted it so it latches and it now runs like a charm.
I find the layout to be much more usable that our previous dishwasher.

Not too sure this is for SeniorsHave had this dishwasher for over a month now. It's tricky to get the soap loaded. Then to turn it on is like building a puzzle; Press the On/Off button, press & hold down the >button, then simultaneously press & release the Start button. Now release the > button. Then press the > button to select the option you would like to adjust. When all this fails, just try again. Keep at it, it does finally click in. Oh, and it is very quiet! It's really very hard to hear it running.

Love my Bosch AscentaWhat really blows us away is how many more dishes and glassware our new Bosch Ascenta holds. We used to wash dishes at least twice a week. With the new Ascenta, we wash dishes once a week or less saving us an amazing amount of water. This doesn't even count the fact that the Ascenta uses less water than our old dishwasher during wash cycles. We feel wonderful that it's helping cut our water usage in this drought and helping meet our water department's mandatory water ration requirements.
With our old dishwasher, we wouldn't wash some glassware because it left hard-water spots on them. With the new Bosch Ascenta, the glassware comes out spotless.
Because it's new, we haven't totally figured out the best and most efficient placement of dishware, bowls and glassware in the racks, but we're getting there.
Finally, it's so quiet. We love it.

Nowhere near as good as I thought it would be!I was forced to replace my old dishwasher, when it started leaking. I researched and thought a Bosch would be awesome. Not so much. The racks are very difficult to load my dishes into- they just don't make much sense. And, the steam that is supposed to dry the dishes does not do a very good job. My dishes are always still wet and drippy when it is finishes. I, as well as the rest of my family, are very dissatisfied with this dishwasher:(

Loading issuesJust purchased this dishwasher to replace one that only lasted 3 1/2 yrs. Not as quiet but acceptable. Problem is with the setup of the bottom rack. Pictures in the care manual show suggested patterns but not one pot or pan are shown. When loading I have various dishes including pots & pans & serving dishes etc. Difficult to load based on my usage if I'm trying to do only one load of dishes..

An extended service plan is generally an extension of your original manufacturer's warranty. Most manufacturers warranty their products to be free from defects for up to one year from the date of purchase. This warranty virtually guarantees you that if your newly purchased product fails, the manufacturer will protect you from the high costs of replacement parts and labor necessary to repair your product. Extended service plans lengthen your product's coverage for up to an additional 60 months (5 years) to insure you get years of performance satisfaction from your newly purchased product.

How is this different than the manufacturer's warranty?

A manufacturer's warranty usually offers limited coverage for a limited time, with parts and labor carrying separate lengths of coverage. For example, a common manufacturer warranty of a product might cover a consumer for one full year on parts defects but only 90 days on the high cost of labor involved to change those parts. Extended service plans provide comprehensive, long term, even length coverage. This means that should your product fail within your plans coverage time frame, both parts and labor costs are covegrey.

How do I buy an Extended Service Plan?

Extended Service Plans can be purchased along with your product online, or via our toll free number.

Can I renew my Consumer Priority Service extended service plan?

Yes, service plans are renewable and must be submitted 30 days prior to the original plans expiration. Please contact a sales representative to discuss your renewal options.

What should I do if I need extended service?

Our extended service providers offer an easy to use interactive form online which you may use to request that they initiate a claim on your product. Your other alternative is to call the toll-free number on your extended warranty card or email and have a qualified representative make this request for you with the information you will provide. We believe that our claim initiation request process is the absolute best our industry has to offer. It is designed for simplicity and speed.

Who will perform the service on my product?

Our company works with over 11,000 authorized service professionals. Each technician is extensively trained by the respective manufacturers to provide service on your products. Authorized technicians must complete annual and bi-annual continued education exams in addition to being well versed in manufacturer supplied update bulletins to ensure their level of expertise is as current as the new products which come to market. We urge our customers to provide feedback regarding their experiences which we later use to insure that the level of service we are expected to provide is exactly the level of service you receive.

May I transfer my extended service plan to another person?

Our service plans are 100% transferable. If you would like transfer ownership of the covegrey product along with its coverage, we require that the request be supplied in writing. For assistance please contact a Representative. Please have all of the new owner's information at hand when requesting a transfer.

Will I have to pay a deductible or any other "hidden costs"?

Generally, the amount of a deductible is almost always proportional to the amount of the premium charged. In order to have a lower deductible, even as low as $0, the plan holder would generally have to agree to a higher premium. For those who want lower premiums, they must agree to a higher deductible. Our extended service plans carry a $0.00 deductible along with low premiums. This means that with an extended service plan there are no high upfront costs and they are committed to cover 100% parts and labor costs on any authorized claim.

When does my warranty start?

Depending on the type of coverage you own, an extended warranty begins at the conclusion of the shortest portion of the manufacturerâ€™s warranty. If the manufacturerâ€™s warranty was 90 day labor and 1 year parts, the extended warranty would begin on the 91st day and continue for the duration of the warranty period. All replacement, commercial and accidental plans begin on the date of purchase.

Why does my plan say "under $1000"?

Some plans carry a dollar value on them. This means that your product's purchase price, excluding tax, delivery and accessories is below the listed price on the contract. It's simply a classification based on the price of purchase of the product under warranty.

What does an accidental plan cover?

If you have added Accidental Coverage to your plan, this plan shall cover unintentional damages as a result of: impact, liquid damage or unintentional physical damage. Accidental Coverage does not cover intentional damages of any kind to the covered product or losses due to theft. Accidental Coverage does not cover willful damage, misuse, damage due to neglect, drops over 6 feet, fire damage or full immersion in water.

Accidental Coverage does not cover damage caused by the use of a product in a way the manufacturer never intended. Coverage for this plan shall begin 30 days after the date of purchase of the covered product.

Is my service plan worldwide?

All plans carry a worldwide option at no additional charge. Contact a sales professional for further details.
